ACT Yellow 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 20 meter U/UTP CAT6 RJ45 patch cable is a 20 m Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed networking. It features RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and U/UTP CAT6 construction to support Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X)). The cable’s yellow jacket improves visibility and identification in structured cabling installations, home networks, and office environments.

Advantages

This U/UTP CAT6 cable provides stable data transmission for Gigabit networks with reduced crosstalk due to its Category 6 design. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts offer corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact for better signal integrity. The 20 meter length allows flexible placement of networked devices without the need for additional couplers or extenders. The yellow outer sheath assists in quick visual identification within patch panels, racks, or cable trays.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, routers and networked printers within LANs
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office or home network racks
• Temporary or permanent setups where cable identification is required
• Gigabit Ethernet networks and 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications

Key specifications

How to use

Route the 20 m CAT6 patch cable between the two network devices you wish to connect, ensuring connectors fully seat into the RJ45 ports until a click is heard. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain a minimum bend radius as recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve performance. Keep the cable clear of strong EMI sources where possible to minimize potential interference. For rack installations, use cable management clips or Velcro ties to secure the cable without compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT6 U/UTP cable in Gigabit-capable networks and pair it with properly terminated RJ45 ports. Do not exceed recommended bend radius or run the cable alongside high-voltage power lines for extended distances. Inspect connectors periodically for secure seating and replace the cable if physical damage or connector corrosion is observed.
